Hey all im plannign on doing a pretty good size grow next year along a creek its fairly remote so i will be using the native soil and adding perlite vermiculite lime and peat moss maybe some chicken shit to but the question is should i use clones or seeds? grow in 15 gal grow bags or dig holes will the native soil be good enough?

Seeds unless you want to grow one of those clone only strains. You know, the ones you can't get seeds from.
Go in ground, 15 gallons is nothing. Gotta love the Earth. The native soil will be good enough if crumbles in your hand, but it will compress into a ball if you try to shape one with it. You don't want it to be hard packed sand/clay/mud. Black is always a good Earth color. Shade, actually 'cause I think black isn't a color.

sweet thanks guys i really appreciate it i heard creek and riverbanks have some of the most fertile soil and i think the soil should be decent theres a reason why were i live we have the biggest trees in the world redwoods :) i want atleast 50 female plants so i will be stasrting 150 seeds since i dont have to hike in soil and theres a creek the half the size of a river it should be fairly easy. start them all in quality soil fox farms gonna scout the area out if i cant plant near the creek ill pump the water to my plot :)

The only problem is that you'll be tending to 75 male plants for 2-3 months until they show sex and you cull them. That's a lot of mouths to feed even if water is close by.

For a grow that size clones are the only way to go. Unless you go the fem seed route.
